I worked with Tim at what is now Client Logic/Service Zone, Lake City, Florida and know the stories that come from tech support. This was a great book I did see a few of my calls in there as well so that made it real funny to me. Once again Great Book must have for all end users to know what they sound like.

I've read this book 2 times in the past week it hit the shelf. I once worked with the author and this guy isn't joking about anything in this book. If you're a tech rep, phone rep or otherwise, this book is for you. If you're not a tech, get it anyway so you're not written about in the next book! The people that actually own these systems should've never passed the 3rd grade let alone drive a car or be trusted with our children. This book tells you alot of problems that we have to sit through everyday and keep a big smile and say 'you're right, sir' you didn't need that cable in there that was red, red ones are extra parts. I dont know, every tech on the phone or somewhere else could write a book but not this creative and explixive. Give many thumbs up on this book - hell, it should be a novel to the people in it.

Tim was a level 2 tech where I work. Some of these stories are straight from there. This book should be shipped with every computer with a disclaimer that reads:Unless you can honestly say that you will not be a canidate for the sequel of this book and are not under the effects of alcohol or medication and none of the walls are padded in the room you're in do not call technical support you will be transferred to the id10t (pronounced- eye dee ten tee) queue. :P

This book is hilariously funny! I can't wait for the sequel! (there will be a sequel right tim?) James

To anyone who has ever worked as a tech or just tried to help a retarded friend figure out how to play an MP3, this book will bring back some pretty painful memories, but at least this time, you get to laugh at someone else!!!

I just got my copy in the mail today, and I can't stop laughing. When I was a computer tech, I thought I heard it all - apparently not. The stories in this book are a real treasure for anyone who uses a computer or works in customer service. It's also a fun read - one of those books you can open to any page and just start laughing out-loud. Highly recommended.

TECHMARES is the most comprehensive collection of computer stupidities in print. Sixteen of today's hottest and most popular tech humor webmasters have collaborated to show the world that intelligence is hard to find. Everything from mind bending quotes, such as, "I feel so much better now...just like taking a big poop..." to personal accounts of computer technicians wanting to slit their wrists in frustration, can be found here.

This is a must have for anyone who's ever worked in tech support, customer service or sales! ...

If you've read anything online about Tech Support and dumb computer users, then you'll already read this book.

I had high hopes of reading some funny, new, interesting stories. This book was a big disappointment. I don't think there was anything here that I hadn't already seen online at sites like www.idiotwatchers.com

I was hoping for something more like Computerworld's Shark Tank.

At any rate, save yourself some money and just look for items like this online. You won't miss a thing.
